Legend. Thank you for all your efforts for sport in general & rugby in particular for NZ. Great role model of a dedicated family man & excellent professional. I'm also quite partial to an ice cold steiny or 6.
You're an absolute legend Steve.
Hi guys.
Love that you picked up on the Great Humans theme that was there with Ali, and Emma Twigg. I believe Zion Armstrong may have touched on it too.
I do wonder if a lot of these high performing Kiwis are too close to the culture to realise that that is what New Zealand sport is aiming to do. I feel that New Zealand is moving away from the Tall Poppy syndrome, but they still police a strong 'No D*ckheads' policy. It's reflected in the concept that no one is bigger than the jersey.
I remember my brother Michael talking to a room full of staunch Kiwi military and reducing them to proud tears by pointing out that the Silver of the Silver Fern is tucked away underneath. Not shy, but not brash either.
I really enjoy how the two of you are able to consistently access this pride and kiwi culture from your array of humble guests. Nice work.
interesting Steve made a stand against a rugby teaming being pick by race in 1981 touring nz ... thought the follow up question should have been how that stand compared to a side in new zealand being picked on race, but you guys didn't ask it
No doubt Tew was a great Administrator for NZ Rugby. He’s very likeable and I warm to him. He grew up 2km from where I did… BUT.. when he said after leaving his NZR role he’s stayed out of things.. that is not true. He campaigned for Foster. He should have been challenged about this by the podcasters, who I also like very much.
Remembered as the guy that anointed Mark Robinson.
Jake and rassie is the best coaches
Really wished you'd asked him about concussion and NZ rugby's archaic stance that 'more research needs to be done.' Opportunity missed.
